THE SIGNET CLASSIC SHAKESPEARE SERIES
The Work of the World's Greatest Dramatist

A great way to enjoy twenty of Shakespeare's timeless plays, this volume is a retelling of the stories in prose by the famous nineteenth-century brother and sister Charles and Mary Lamb. Keeping Shakespeare's own words whenever possible but making the plots and language easily accessible, this entertaining and readable collection has enthralled both children and adults ever since it first appeared in 1807. Here Shakespeare's best-known tragedies and comedies come to life. Defined by moving drama, vivid action, great wit, or fantastic imagination, each play comes alive with charm and clarity for readers of any age—as a helpful preface to the original Elizabethan version or even as enriching, unforgettable stories in themselves.

With an Introduction by Susan J. Wolfson and an Afterword by Sylvan Barnet, general editor of the Signet Classic Shakespeare series.

Über den Autor Charles Lamb

Charles Lamb (1775-1834) and Mary Lamb (1764-1847) were siblings and key literary figures in the English Romantic Movement. Charles was considered one of the greatest essayists in English letters for his imaginative and witty prose published under the pseudonym of "Elia," and Mary wrote poetry and prose that have enjoyed a renewed scholarly interest with the rise of women's studies. In 1807, they published their most enduring work, Tales from Shakespeare, prose versions of twenty Shakespeare plays adapted for young readers, with Mary handling the romances and comedies and Charles tackling the tragedies. Since then, it has been translated into dozens of languages and has never been out of print.
